my DIY hammock seat

Saw this http://thehammockseat.com/forms/Fana...icOutdoors.php and decided to take a crack at it. I used 4' of 64" wide 1.1 and folded it over to get 32". Came out a little narrow I bet 40" or so would be better. I gathered up each end so its just like a small hammock. Just slapped it on the tree with some cord I had and used a dirty old pipe for the pole but it worked great, I could pivot and everything. I bet a hiking pole could work and probably just use your hammock suspension. Sorry for the butt pic lol.

At first I tried to make a pocket similar to the hennessey clone where you sew the end channel into sort of a tube but really it just kind of pushes up against the gathered end and finds its own resting spot. Im thinking of trying a sewn on grograin pocket that it can go into or maybe a tapered pole that pushes into the gathered end.

Just thinking, I have some 1/4" ccf. With a dbl. layer it could easily be insulated for cool weather comfort. I like this for sure, and was today trying to come up with something for a hang next month, great timing.

i have 65" silnylon and a sewing machine but who what when where??
.. i just hem everything then gather short ends and put cpvc on one end then slapstrap on other?
like this better then jerry chair/gear hammock cuz can use one tree anyswhere..

lame cuz im not bringing anything to the table but u no harm in speaking up.. thanks 4 help.
